Episode 9 Director Says Reys Origin Will Be 'Profoundly Satisfying' But Will It Be Revealed In Ep8?

No conformation as far as I know, only guesses

 

Here we go... She is Leia's daughter. However she isn't hans daughter, instead a convergence in the force like anakin seeded long ago by anakin when he tried to save padme. Conceived after they sent Ben to train with luke. The new chosen she is sent to lukes temple to me trained. However she is sent there as lukes daughter. Told to kill the daughter of sky walker Kylo attacks the temple. Luke is not there when it all goes down. When kylo guts the place he can't find the girl. Ezra or kanaan escape the attack with the girl. Dropping her off with unkar plutt planning to lead the imperials away and return, of course they never make it back...

 

I agree. Humanize her more in VIII.

 

But who the heck wants that? A relatable, grounded Star Wars character?

 

I definitely get what you're saying. This board can get really annoying if you talk bad about Rey's character. I've been called sexist and patriarchal because I believe Rey's powers are a little bit over-exaggerated.

Which is unfair because I actually really liked TFA and I really like Rey, but her superpowers have been troubling to me as well. This is why I deeply, deeply hope she is Luke's daughter. Because if she was training from about 3-5 as a youngling with Luke at the academy, it gives value to her abilities. But, If she wasn't and this isn't true, there is no logical explanation for why she is so powerful and defeated Kylo Ren (who was extremely powerful).

Please don't leave the board, because then there are just less and less people here who understand logic.

 

I think that her parentage is not intended to be a deep mystery. Rey is definitely Luke's child, and the twist/reveal will be her mother, maybe, possibly...
And why she was hidden away, abandoned.

Why she was left on Jakku is the mystery.

I think it was to protect her, just like Luke and Leia were made safely anonymous. Being the scion of Anakin Skywalker was not a good thing, it was a terrible burden.

Luke had hoped he could protect her, but if she ever showed up at his doorstep, it would be the Will of the Force.

That is what leads to the depth of emotion on Luke's face.

He tried to protect his daughter from her destiny, and that didn't quite work out as planned.

Kylo Ren when she Force pulls the Lightsaber to herself:

"It IS you"

Snoke to Hux:

"It appears that he may have been right about the girl."

I think it clarifies KR's question:

"Is it true? You're just a scavenger?"

Kylo Ren suspected that the daughter of Luke Skywalker survived, and relayed his suspicions to Snoke, who disbelieved him.

Recall that the Emperor also disbelieved Vader when it came to Luke.

 

I was called misogynist and some other nice things.
The funny side to the story is, that I was polite and stated my opinion with objective arguments without a battle of the sexes in my mind.

I see it in a similar light, she should be Lukes daughter otherwise she would be a Mary Sue like character. (that I can't stand) (not Ridley's fault)

Thank you, I appreciate this sentence, it's kind.
Currently I'am posting less and I avoid topics where I know that my opinion is unpopular, but I'am still thinking about leaving.
It's not so fun as it used to be since the release of TFA.

 

I don't think that people are misogynistic at all here. I just disagree with the "Mary Sue" thing entirely. That would imply that she has no flaws (that's what the term means), which she does and I can list multiple ones just off the top of my head. I also found her intensely relatable. She came across as extremely human to me, and I know that A LOT of people feel the same way (she's one of the most praised elements of the movie after all).

 

I have only been active for a short time. I think it's good to throttle down if it starts to get heated but should definitely stay and voice your thoughts. Collectively we are stronger

I found her relatable up until she mind tricked the trooper, then I had questions. when she nearly dispatched kylo, I no longer had just questions I had doubts. The book made it clearer than the movie but power curve ,as I have stated in other threads ,is slightly skewed and hopefully explained by her origins

 

I liked how they have us on our toes but there's STILL too much to be left to our imaginations over the next 3 and a half years .

 

I bought the mind trick to, I think that's easily explained in context to, as is her beating him when the movie goes out of it's way to handicap him. And again, it really isn't all that different than Luke conveniently doing things at just the right time,

Plus it seems like it'll be a plot point moving forward, since the film:

-Draws attention to it repeatedly. Both having other characters question it, and her admitting that she doesn't know how she's doing it.
-Has Snoke mention an "Awakening" very shortly after she gets involved in the main plot.
-Snoke takes an immediate interest in her when he finds out about her.
-Etc.

 

Then why was he pissed off when Kylo seen became TOO OBSESSED with her ?

 

He was annoyed that "a scavenger" was able to resist Kylo's mind probe because he wasn't expecting it. But when Kylo revealed more details, it was almost like a lightbulb went off in his head. I think that Snoke (and possibly Luke) already have some idea of what's going on.

 

One thing.... Breaking Bad ;-)

Though spot for Rian Johnson to be in....

Rey = Luke's daughter:
Seem logical considering her extraordinary abilities. Would also be continuing the Skywalker-storyline.
But the explanation of how she stranded on Jakku and why Luke left her seems pretty hard to explain to me in a satisfactory way.

Rey = Han & Leia's daughter:
Also logical considering her extraordinary abilities. Would also be continuing the Skywalker-storyline.
Leaves even more to wonder how they will fix this storywise. Han not saying to Leia he saw their daughter, Kylo not recognizing her..etc..

Rey = somebody else is daughter or created by the force.
Would suck big time. As by doing so it moves away from the Skywalker saga and that wouldn't be satisfactory at all for me. Yes, Kylo is a skywalker but we have to think about the next trilogy also. Also it would detract from the whole 'chosen one' aspect from the previous films.

I really wonder..if Rey is not a Skywalker..how are they going to continue the Skywalks-saga? (Which I really do want..because that is what I'm invested in).
Will we see Kylo turn to the light side and live happily ever after so he can bring forth a son? It seems highly unlikely to me. Or will Luke settle down at the end of Ep. 9..ending this trilogy with the gift of a child?

 

What if A REAL Skywalker is revealed in VIII .

 

Now that would be a twist

 

And what if it turns out to be Daniel Craig? .

 

Not really. I can think of at least two of three possibilities right off of the bat.

 

I honestly want her to be the decendant of Satele Shan
